Krit Desktop 2.0.38

Published July 26, 2026.

What changed

Comprehensively rebuilt the game-activity detector's exclusion list after
a third false positive (Microsoft.WidgetsPlatformRuntime, following
ChxApp and Office Hub in earlier releases). Rather than patch reactively
again, the full set of non-game Windows apps was audited and classified:
the list now covers many more Microsoft first-party utilities and common
third-party gaming-PC vendor software (graphics, audio, and peripheral
control panels), plus general pattern matching for locale packs, runtime
components, and similar non-game package families. Real games such as the
Solitaire Collection, Minecraft, and Sea of Thieves remain detectable.
Fixed a bug where, in a narrow startup race, a second app instance could
fail to defer to an already-running one and instead create its own
competing window and tray icon — leaving Quit, Check for updates, and
Refresh unresponsive if that stale instance was the one on screen.
Windows installers are Authenticode-signed.
Linux builds are available as AppImage, DEB, and RPM.

Linux users can select and verify the appropriate package automatically:

curl -fsSL https://voice.krit.gg/install-linux.sh | sh

SHA-256 values for every file are published in release-history.json.

Krit is in beta. Existing installations receive updates through Krit's normal
in-app update flow.
